Mr. President,
We want to thanks for making it potential, with the invaluable assist of the Netherlands and Denmark, for the primary F-16s to be deployed in Ukraine within the close to future. We hope that this heralds the formation of an air power of 200 to 300 plane which can permit Ukraine to successfully defend its airspace.
With out indulging in pessimism or defeatism, it appears the enemy Ukraine faces in the present day has discovered from its preliminary navy errors, revitalised its military-industrial advanced and mastered new sorts of armament. Russia has additionally been capable of finding new sources of arms provides from a few of its allies. From this viewpoint, Iran’s supply of glide bombs and the possible provide of medium-range missiles are notably worrying.
We’re writing to you as president of the main nation within the Ramstein coalition to ask you to carry the restrictions on using weapons equipped by your nation, and to name on the coalition member nations to do likewise, in order that the Ukrainian military can neutralise navy constructions and gear, ammunition and gas depots, and navy manufacturing services deep inside enemy territory.
Moreover, the failure of sure European and American firms to adjust to the embargo on the provision of navy or dual-use applied sciences to Russia is in our view notably severe. It requires a really agency response, which may encompass the creation inside NATO of a construction modelled on the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (CoCom) of the Chilly Battle. The committee can be accountable for making certain full compliance with the ban on the export of any delicate expertise to nations representing an actual or potential menace to the free world. Along with Russia, these embody the Individuals’s Republic of China, Iran, North Korea and Belarus.

Mr. President, with out a a lot stronger mobilisation than we’ve got seen to this point, neither Ukraine, nor all of the nations within the coalition, will be capable of win this warfare. And not using a shift to a warfare economic system on the a part of all Western nations, and the rise in arms procurement that this suggests, Moscow’s technique of shopping for time and banking on the fatigue of governments and public opinion is more likely to repay. We can not permit that to occur.
Highest regards.
